Jatkuvaviiva

Jatkuvaviiva is a Finnish term used in various contexts, most commonly referring to a continuous line or an unbroken sequence. In drawing and art, it denotes a line that is drawn without lifting the pen or pencil from the surface, creating a single, uninterrupted stroke. This technique can imbue a drawing with a sense of flow and dynamism.

In mathematics, a continuous function is often described as one whose graph is a single, unbroken curve, meaning there are no jumps or gaps. The concept of a continuous line is fundamental to calculus and analysis, where it relates to limits and the absence of discontinuities.

The term also appears in the context of traffic and road markings. A continuous white line, for example, typically indicates that overtaking is prohibited. Similarly, in other fields, such as manufacturing or project management, a "jatkuvaviiva" might represent an uninterrupted production process or an unbroken chain of events. The core idea remains consistent: something that proceeds without interruption or break.
